Gentlemen,
can someone who is familiar with the russian postal system determine how much postage that has been paid for this small package. It was sent from Russia to Sweden and the woman who sold the items inside charged 6 USD postage. It was two separate items at a total of 3.52 USD, but combining postage seemed impossible and I had to pay 6 USD postage. I got the letter today and I do not know how much value the stamps have - is it 17 rubles? And are there any other charges when shipping these kind of small letters from Russia? Customs fees? According to xe.com, 17 rubles is 0.65 USD. Robbery?
